1799 1C Fine 12 NGC. S-189, B-3, High R.2. The die chip in
the field between the E of ONE and the T of CENT is strong and
somewhat triangular, and a rim break is developing above the AM of
AMERICA. Medium brown toning covers both sides of this
representative of what is the rarest date in the large cent series.
The design elements are generally well centered on the planchet and
exhibit nice definition. Most of Liberty's features are clear, and
the date and LIBERTY are relatively strong. Except for weakness in
the TATES of STATES, all of the reverse devices exhibit a high
degree of crispness for the grade. A few minute contact marks are
scattered over each side, particularly on the obverse, but none can
be considered offensive. EAC 10.Ex: Charles French (1961 MANA); George Ramont; Del Bland
